Environmental zone/Emissions sticker

Leipzig is not just an environmentally-conscious trade fair location, but has also been an environmental zone since 1 March, 2011. The objective of this initiative is the reduction of particulate matter volumes.

The environmental zone extends over large portions of the city, including the downtown area. It does not include Leipziger Messe and the airport. The environmental zone is marked by traffic signs.

Only vehicles with green emissions stickers, or those that meet the criteria for exceptions, may enter this zone. This sticker can be purchased from the technical town hall (Technisches Rathaus) of the city of Leipzig. In addition, you can obtain a sticker for your car at all national vehicle registration authorities, the officially recognised monitoring organisations for transportation, and repair shops.

Additional information, including a map of the Leipzig environmental zone can be found on the website of the city of Leipzig (in German only).
